October is for Pumpkin Stuff

Happy Monday ya'll! I hope everyone is soaking up the end of October. I am thrilled for October to end because that means Christmas is that much closer! I love October though for many reasons, one of them is that I have an excuse to use pumpkin excessively. 

Pumpkin is basically a god. I make sure I have at least one can of organic pumpkin puree on hand at all times. 

I really love pasta, and with the colder months coming I started to crave it. So, I incorporated pumpkin and pasta in the same dish. How could you go wrong?

Gnocchi with Pumpkin Sauce

This was the perfect combination of hearty and filling. I felt so satisfied after, but still could eat so much more.

2. Add all your wet ingredients for the sauce to a sauce pan, bring to a boil
